Random Question Thread XX: The Aforementioned Goddamn Random Question Thread

Empyrean is the best weapon for all three. Kikoku MIGHT be a good, if not the best (Not sure if it beats Kamome), offhand for Kannagi, I don't remember.

Kamome isn't?

[Fereydoon]

It's why I said not sure, I heard Kikoku could compete, but the crit damage on Kamome probably pulls it ahead, more so after the update raised crit damage cap. Would probably need someone who could math it out better than me to make it obvious.

Halp?

Old-ass XP PC died for good yesterday, so I went out and bough a cheap-ass laptop. Came with Win7 home premium, been trying to get Windower to work with it but it's been a no-go so far.

-I installed the x64 POL from playonline
-FFXI and all expansions installed from the TPB torrent posted in the ongoing 'all FFXI updates' thread
-No third party antivirus/etc. software running, and I've approved POL/FFXI in the built-in firewall
-Able to log in from barebones fullscreen FFXI no problem

Windower, on the other hand, does not seem to be functioning. I run the Windower GUI as adminstrator, and it immediately comes up with an unhandled exception error. Can't change or save any settings, can't import the existing settings, and it won't launch POL. I assume I'm doing something wrong here, as this is my first foray into Win7. Any advice?

If you are using brave grip then its 7% difference. On the other hand I always thought that Yataghan can have up to 6% so 9% difference.

Yeah, Wiki says that you can get up to 6% on Yataghan, but I've done about 60-70 of them and never seen one that high. I did, however, get a ton of 5% so I feel like that's a pretty safe number to shoot for. Random is random etc.

It's 6%.

Also its really easy to beat daggers + sea daughter which /sam and brave grip and SS atma its 33% crit damage. Although that would be over kill already by 3% (40% aim 30%RR and 33% SS+grip gives 103%) I will need to check some combination to see which is best unless someone did it and already know (for Gandiva RNG)

SS has Enmity+ (Not a practical choice for most group situations). RNG's biggest problem right now is pulling hate. I have no idea why SE keeps giving us more damage but refuses to give us a hate dump. They gave one to BLM. It makes no sense.

Shoot with Camouflage up?

[Kaisha]

Anyone know if it's possible to pet-pull in Dynamis now? Wouldn't mind some soloing on SMN or PUP, but a single add is enough to screw me up.

[Plow]

Not sure but you can sleep stuff fine with sch sub.

One of you who is the field of craft must know the answer to my question.

I was wondering if I pick up a crafting stall and then get a crafting signboard and such and put them together. Will the affects from the stall and the signboard and any thing else stack together?

[noodles355]

3000 (Evisc) + 2000 (Dancing) + ~1600 (Distortion x0.6 x1.3) + 3000 (Evisc) + ~6000 (Darkness x1.5 x1.3) + 5000 (SF Rudra's with crits and sauce) + ~11500 (Darkness x1.75 x1.3) = 32k Damage with above average luck and no resists.

Uhuh...
Rudra's doesn't crit without TA(Thf main) or SA.

Are there updated Model/Altana Viewer lists after the update somewhere?

[Heslon]

which off hand trial dagger is better for dnc solo/duo DA+10 or oat2-4? I know that the DA+10 would be better for dmg but i think the oat2-4 helps for faster tp to cure etc?

[Jem]

I assume he means Striking Flourish Rudra's with Charis Casaque +2 which gives a 50% crit chance unless I'm remembering incorrectly.

Except +30 enmity will change almost noting in abyssea. Barrage + WS and you are at hate cap. With 1200-2400 crits with ratt +30 enmity is like reaching the hate cap few sec faster.

[Telamond]

What's the proc rate of the barspells added effect for a full orison's set +2?

[seiji]

in update notes under Resolved issue:

The issue where the item Unkai Haidate's Hasso effect was affecting magic recast delay.

haste from "augment hasso" is no longer calculated in magic cap but in JA cap?

How do I fix mules ffxi-3001 error? keep timing out trying to log into port jeuno

Are you on a recently merged server? I and a few people I know can't enter port jeuno given there are ~800 people in zone. Can log on to mules in starter nations and such just fine, though.

Spoiler: show

sure needed that merge, SE.

Depends who you're with, and what you're up against.

Scary shit? Eva kilas. Lol EPs? OAT2-4, auric, Yataghan, all good daggers. I'd say OAT2-4 for pure peen sake though.
